We've experienced some pretty high temperatures so far this summer!☀️⛱️😎

The appearance of the sun is a stark reminder that alcohol still feels at the centre of how we socialise as a society. Whether its the sponsorship of summer sporting events and festivals or multi-buy discounts and displays in supermarkets, it can feel hard to make a conscious decision to cut down or be mindful of our drinking.

A mix of alcohol and sun can impact our health in different ways, so it’s important to be mindful of any increased risks to our wellbeing if we are drinking alcohol, even in smaller amounts.

Discover five health impacts and tips on how to avoid them on our website👇
